| Ask The Expert - A green wedding dress? |

 Hi NNN,
Can you please help me find a "green" wedding dress? Preferably local. Thanks!
Sejal
What a great question! We checked with Kara DiCamillo, of Newport, Treehugger's green- consumer- lifestyle correspondent. Here's her response:
Hi Sejal,
I don't know of any R.I. businesses that necessarily sell a "green" wedding dress... however, I would say that recycling/reusing one is just as eco-friendly!
For example, one from maybe a family member, or even one from a site such as Craig's List or Ebay - I'm sure they're out there.
And it's amazing what can be tailored as well. Many women don't realize that just because they don't necessarily fit into one that was their mother's, grandmother's, whoever's, it can be tailored in such a way that it fits just right. Hope that helps!
Best, Kara
P.S. Also, check out this Treehugger resource to help with planning an all-around green wedding, "How to Green Your Wedding."
And more ideas here: "How Green Was My Wedding," New York Times Style section. Advice from Grist: "Nice Day for a Green Wedding." And this site, portovert.com, calls itself the "Gateway to Greener Weddings."
Good luck!
